Happy Yosemite Valley Discovery Day! (Not you Indians)


Today in 1851, explorer Lafeyette Bunnell and other members of the Mariposa Battalion became the non-indiginious discoverers of Yosemite Valley.
Which begs the question, "Do the French really name their Battalions after butterflies?"
Please to enjoy one of my many Walkabout 2007 pictures of the Valley.
CORRECTION: Bunnell was an American. But the question is still funny. So I kept it in.
